Once WE as officials get better on determining RSBQ vs SDF oh what a wonderful world it will be!

No disrespect, but it seems to me that its the vets who dont want to change their mindset. Probably why WE dont put em on the FT line as WE should on drives to the basket. The GAME has changed & WE need to adapt.

Like it or not, that (observing the affect on a shot with potentially incidental contact) is the concept being widely taught in this area at all levels.

And there's nothing the matter with that either. You're determining whether the contact was illegal or incidental using advantage/disadvantage and a patient whistle while determining that advantage/disadvantage. That hasn't changed. But if you determine that the contact on the shooter was really illegal from the git-go, there is no need at all for a patient whistle and no need to see if the ball goes in or not either. If that weren't true, you'd never have an "and 1". You just wouldn't call a foul every time the ball went in.

In that case, I'd suggest that this entire debate is more about semantics than practical play calling.

I don't think anyone was suggesting passing on any/all contact just because the ball went in...just contact that was merely suspect.

If someone gets hammered, I'd hope everyone would have a call, even if the shot is made.

And I can't see using that much delay on a 3...this is more applicable in an interior situation.
